If he were to hit the open market, I think the Jets would also be major players for him.

Could Miami really splurge two years in a row?

We're $20 million under the cap

We're going to have a lot more than that. After we cut Sanchez and Holmes, we might have over $40 million.

Still wont have as much as Oakland. _________________

Hope he is benched for atleast the first two weeks. He hurt the team and doesn't know the playbook. I want Bills to tag him again next year just to get back at him.

Vindictive much? I don't like hold outs either, but look no further than Dustin Keller to see why guys do it, he took a 1 year deal and now that might be the final nfl paycheck he cashes.

Yeah and now he doesn't know the defense and is not in football shape. He shouldn't see the field regardless. Everyone has been working and learning this defense since OTAs. He shouldnt expect to walk in and start with just two weeks of work. He just won't be up to par no matter how good he is._________________

But the point is that he wasn't going to make a dime more whether he signed the deal just before training camp or now, all he did was cost himself reps in the new defense.

The only surefire way he'd be guaranteed a chance to make more than he'd make on the franchise tender this year would be for him to sit out the entire season. The team and he couldn't reach a long term deal before the deadline, that sucks, but sitting around and throwing a tantrum about not getting his way didn't help either side._________________

You act as though he's done nothing but sit on his couch eating cheetos and drinking mountain dew

Still got two more preseason games and weeks, I'm sure he'll be good to go once the season rolls around. Certainly better than any other option the Bills currently have._________________^^ryknowssd^^

It's confirmed. The Bills didn't cave an inch and still retain the right to tag him again next year.

As for when he joins in, they shouldn't put a date on that at all. It should be whenever the coaches feel he'll be the best contributor. As good as Byrd is compared to the competition, unless he's been slacking on the physical conditioning, I expect that'll be week one.

I mean seriously, I don't know what the rules say about when he could see the playbook, but does anyone really think today was the first day he got his hands on it? It was in the best interest of both parties that he saw it earlier.
